With wit and insight, "What You Want" challenges conventional notions of success and happiness, encouraging readers to reevaluate their own aspirations. The book prompts readers to ask themselves: What truly drives our desires? Do these desires bring us contentment or merely momentary pleasure?

Through Oscar's exploration, Phipps reminds us that desire is deeply personal and multifaceted. The narrative culminates in a profound and enlightening lesson – that our desires, when truly understood and embraced, have the power to shape our lives in meaningful and transformative ways.

"What You Want" is a concise and precisely crafted work that prompts readers to reflect on their own desires, sparking a journey towards a more fulfilling life.
